Q

What is vascular response?

A

stat brief vasoconstriction
leukocytes, mast cells, and platelets release mediators histamine and prostaglandin
histamine and prostaglandin brings capillary dilation, increase cap permeability,dilates blood vessels and mediates pain
vasodilation increase blood flow to area which causes hyperaemia
increased cap permeability allows exudate to form
fluid and protein shift causing swelling and pain
pain causes immobilization
